VEX : argsort() question Sept. 17, 2025, 4:33 a.m.

Hi,

argsort() is working correctly. Your smallest values (0.05) are at indices 2,3, then 0.52 at 4,5, then 0.94 at 0,1. So is the right ascending order of indices.

Orienting Point Normals Sept. 8, 2025, 3:43 a.m.

Hi,

You can use Orientation Along Curve SOP, where X Axis will give you what you want. Make sure to choose the right Tangent Type for your use case.

Great update! Everything works except fn:displaySelectNearestNode(uievent, context) option. I have bounded to my 1 key and remove every other hotkeys in the hotkey editor but it does not seem to work. The other options are working like 2 3 4 but not display one. How can i fix it?

You can use the selectDisplayNearestNodeInEditorEnhanced function in utility_generic.
